Error: namespace is undefined

[paranella]

Designer version tested:

• Designer 1.2.2 Build 48

Operating System:

• Windows 7

Framework:

• Ext JS 4.x

Description:

• When I link a class into another class I get "namespace undefined" error

Steps to reproduce the problem:

• Create a form panel
• Create a window
• Link panel into the window
• Export your code and execute your application

The result that was expected:

• the window showing with the inner panel

The result that occurs instead:

• javascript error: namespace is undefined

Possible fix:

• insert alias property into the ui class with magic word 'widget'
  

  Ext.define('MyApp.view.ui.MyForm', {
      extend: 'Ext.form.Panel',
      alias: 'widget.myform',
      .....

I tried what you suggested and it did produce alias: widget.myform but it did so in MyApp.view.MyForm and not the base class

Ext.define('MyApp.view.MyForm', {
    extend: 'MyApp.view.ui.MyForm',
    alias: 'widget.myform',

    initComponent: function() {
        var me = this;
        me.callParent(arguments);
    }
});

Ok Phil,

but what appen if you have exported code before linking? external ui files are not re-generated by designer, if I link after first export I loose the alias property.

[Phil.Strong]

I was scratching my head earlier thinking why did we put alias in the super class and not the base class. I think it should be moved to the base class.

Ok!
Can't wait for Sencha Designer 2! Good work!

This is a bug by design/or flaw in the code generation approach of Designer 1.x.

Designer 2.x we are now taking the approach of using a single class with overrides. Therefore this issue never occurs:
